War-Jazz Jamaica

Wake up, say good morning to That sleepy person lying next to you. If there's no one there, then there's no one there, But at least the war is over. It's us, yes we're back again, Here to see it through till the day's end, And if the night comes, And the night will come, Well at least the war is over. Lift your head, and look out the window, Stay that way for the rest of the day And watch the time go. Listen, the birds sing, Listen, the bells ring. All the living are dead, And the dead are all living, The war is over, and we are beginning. Gridlocked on the parkway now, The television man is here to show you how. The channel fades to snow, it's off to work you go, But at least the war is over. She's gone, she left before you woke. As you ate last night, neither of you spoke. Dishes, TV, bed, the darkness filled with dread, But at least the war is over. Lift your head, and look out the window, Stay that way for the rest of the day And watch the time go. Listen, the birds sing, Listen, the bells ring. All the living are dead, And the dead are all living, The war is over, and we are beginning. We won, or we think we did. When you went away, you were just a kid. And if you lost it all, and you lost it, Well, we'll still be there When your war is over. Lift your head, and look out the window, Stay that way for the rest of the day And watch the time go. Listen, the birds sing, Listen, the bells ring. All the living are dead, And the dead are all living, The war is over, and we are beginning. Here it comes, here comes the first day, Here it comes, here comes the first day, It starts up in our bedroom after the war, It starts up in our bedroom after the war. After the war.
